Removing an immutable image from the catalog using the bpexpdate command
You can remove an immutable image from the NetBackup catalog and have that image remain on storage.
To remove an immutable image from the catalog
- Open the NetBackup Command Line Interface (CLI).
- Delete the image from the catalog using the bpexpdate command with the -try_expire_worm_copy and the -nodelete options.
bpexpdate -d 0 -backupid server123.veritas.com_1234567890 -copy 1 -try_expire_worm_copy -nodelete
Using the -try_expire-worm_copy and -nodelete options together removes the image from the catalog only and does not affect storage.
- Use y or n to confirm deletion.
